"If you have no knowledge of the cruelty that Chinese serial Chinese cat and kitten torturer, mutilator and murderer, Jack Latiao (real name Xu Zhihui), known for torturing Cowcat which sparked massive controversy in 2023, inflicted on his feline victims, then below, I will describe a segment involving one kitten from the dozens of kittens he publicly tortured to death online:
"He put a kitten into a meat grinder, and after the machine started, the kitten was still alive, struggling and crying out, even trying to crawl upward to escape in a state where its lower body was a bloody mess. He and his wife, Chen Xiaojuan, laughed and said the cat had a tough life, then put the kitten into a microwave to heat it up."
I've never had the courage to click on any of his cat and kitten torture videos. Just these words and images circulating on the internet have already caused immense psychological discomfort for me and many others.
What we find most unbearable isn't just the two words "death." It's that a living being, when suffering pain, can feel the hurt, knows fear, knows to run away—it feels terror too.
In that moment when it desperately clawed upward, it had no idea why humans were treating it this way.
Does torturing cats and dogs really only harm cats and dogs?
Of course, the first to suffer is the animal.
But when the abuse is deliberately filmed, spread, and flaunted—even turned into traffic and business for some people—the ones repeatedly tormented also include the conscience, tolerance, and sense of security of countless ordinary people on the other side of the screen.
There's always someone asking: "Isn't it just a cat, a dog? Why does it upset so many people this much?"
But it's precisely because they can't speak, can't call the police, and don't know how to seek help from society that we feel this way.
A vulnerable life’s trust in humans shouldn’t become the easiest weakness for people to exploit in harming it. And such harm shouldn’t be replicated thousands of times over the internet, forcing countless people originally unrelated to the incident to bear the pain it creates together.
When news suddenly spread online these past two days about "Jack La Tiao and his family being stabbed—one dead, one injured, with the attacker, a girl, jumping to her death on the spot," my first reaction wasn’t joy. If the rumored details are ultimately confirmed, what we’re facing is no longer just an animal abuse case.
It’s an issue of animal protection that, amid long-accumulated anger and helplessness, has finally evolved into the most primal violence between people. The rumor goes that the attacker initially sought to gather real information on Jack La Tiao and ended up watching a ton of his cat abuse videos out of necessity, which drove her to schizophrenia; she then lay low for half a year, waiting near Jack La Tiao’s home until she found the chance to stab him.
This is the most heartbreaking part.
What we’ve always hoped for isn’t for someone to take up a knife and avenge little dog Wang Wang or those cats and dogs cruelly tortured to death.
What we need is for there to already be a clear institutional baseline in place in China—before the next kitten is stuffed into a machine, before the next puppy is abused to death on the street.
Letting abusers know what they can’t do and what consequences they’ll face if they do; letting ordinary people know where to report abuse when they see it and how the law will handle it;
Letting pet owners know what penalties they’ll face for abandoning animals or failing to care for them properly;
And letting those consumed by rage know: We can seek justice without picking up a knife.
A truly mature society shouldn’t rely on an ordinary person ruining their entire life to deliver justice for a speechless little animal.
Wang Wang doesn’t need revenge.
Those abused kittens and puppies don’t need a “hero” either—they need the protection of the law.
My gut reaction was one of uncontrollable sympathy and admiration for that girl who stabbed Jack La Tiao and gave her own life for it, even though, rationally and emotionally, I shouldn’t feel this way. In the afterlife where she is now, have those kittens and puppies once hurt by bad people happily reunited with her? Has she brought word from the human world, telling them that so many brothers and sisters ache for their suffering and are fighting for them? After all, before she stabbed him, thanks to the tireless efforts of many pet lovers, Jack La Tiao ultimately paid only the price of a banned online account and 10 days in detention for his cat abuse.
But I don’t want to call the moment she picked up the knife “heroism.”
Because the world truly worth looking forward to is one where no one needs to sacrifice their life and freedom to become that kind of “hero.”
When the law falls silent, anger shouldn’t turn into vigilante justice.
And the point of our push for animal protection legislation in China has never been just to safeguard cats and dogs.
We’re protecting a society’s most basic compassion for vulnerable lives—and protecting the inner health and peace of those who still hold that compassion."

Yesterday, a young woman lost her life.
Reports claim that she had been deeply affected by the cat-abuse case from three years ago, and eventually chose to confront the alleged abuser through violence.
In 2023, the case involving Xu Zhihui, known online as “Jack Latiao,” shocked the public.
The perpetrator is a food blogger from the Chinese mainland with millions of followers, known as ‘Jack Latiang-Xu Zhihui,’
A cow cat suffered horrific abuse.
Millions were angry.
Millions were heartbroken.
But many felt powerless.
Three years later, the pain had not disappeared.
And now, another tragedy has reportedly happened.
When ordinary people repeatedly witness suffering but feel that the law cannot give them meaningful protection or justice, anger, despair and helplessness can become another tragedy.
The death of an animal is heartbreaking.
The loss of a young human life is devastating.
Good people should never have to sacrifice their lives because the law leaves them feeling powerless.
We do not need more hatred.
We do not need more violence.
We need laws that make cruelty accountable.
We need consequences for abuse.
We need a system people can turn to before desperation takes over.
Remember this girl.
May she rest in peace.
And before another tragedy happens,
let the law be there.

記住這個女孩。
昨天,一名年輕女孩倒下了。
據傳,她因三年前的虐貓事件長期無法釋懷,最終選擇了暴力反抗。並付出了自己的生命。
2023年,徐志輝(“傑克辣條”)虐貓事件震動全網。
一隻奶牛貓遭受殘忍虐殺,而施虐者正是中國大陸擁有千萬粉絲的美食博主,-“傑克辣條”
無數人憤怒、痛苦,卻又無能為力。
三年過去,創傷沒有消失。
而如今,悲劇再次發生。
善良的人,不該用自己的生命去承受法律缺位留下的傷口。
我們需要的不是更多私刑,而是明確、有效、可執行的法律,讓虐待動物真正受到追責。
願她安息。
也願這樣的悲劇,不再發生。
YOU ALL NEED TO READ THIS!!!

The girl has died after jumping from the building.🙏😭
XuZhihui has been allowed to hurt thousands of cats and influence hundreds of thousands of Chinese to do the same as online "content" #MadeInChina .
